It has nothing to do with gb.gtk and icon theme.

Directory specific icons is a freedesktop standard that the DirChooser control 
does not handle, for simplicity reasons. And because it needs to access a 
directory stored inside a folder making things slower.

Two remarks:

- I may implement that in the future.

- Storing how directories should be viewed inside the directory is a stupid 
design. Why on the heck did they do that? :-( If two users want to see the 
same directory differently, what should we do?
